Wasnea Tap Room is a local bar and
grill in Roanoke located right off the Greenway,
and next door to the River Rock
Climbing gym. Wasena Tap Room opened
on November 9th, 2012. The
bar is known locally for its expansive rotating tap, good food, and the large number
of events held at the bar. The
building is a large brick structure that used to be a warehouse. Inside, it is very open. The rafters are exposed and painted a beige
color. Many of the interior walls are
still brick; some painted green, and others a simple red brick. The space itself is large and open with high
ceilings. There are lights that hang off
of metal beams that help to keep the place light and their placement helps the space
not feel cavernous. Large windows line
the front of the building, which let in a lot of natural light. There is a large wooden based and granite
topped bar, a high number of tables, and a couple half booths that fill in the
building nicely. Wasena Tap Room also
has a lovely outdoor section with plenty of seating. When it is nice outside, the patio is often
filled with people. The patio gets a lot
of sun throughout the day, which makes it a nice place to sit outside to eat
and enjoy the day. What Wasena
is best known for is their large rotating tap. The bar and grill offers 31
beers and a craft root beer. This tap
always has a mix of regional brews and international brands. The selection rotates, so you can always find
a new beer to try out. They offer
everything from IPAs to Stouts, so no matter what your preference is you will
be able to find something you like. The crowd
at Wasena encompasses a wide range of ages, and personality types. It will often vary depending on the event being
held. Wasena draws in a lot of people
from the Greenway and the rock climbing gym next door. Due to this fact, the atmosphere and dress is
generally fairly casual and relaxed. One of the
most fun aspects of the Wasena Tap Room is their wide range of events. On Monday at 8pm and Friday at 11pm they host
trivia. On Tuesdays they host the Fleet Feet Sports Pub Run,
which offers a three and a five mile route.
Following the run, people get food and drinks at the bar. On Wednesdays they offer “Steal the Pint”
nights in which breweries have a wide selection of their beers available on
tap. Also, some pint glasses are given
away free with the purchase of the beers that are being promoted. On Saturdays, and some times on other nights,
they have live music. On Sundays from
11-3 they offer brunch. A calendar of
their events can be found here.
The staff at Wasena is friendly and attentive, but don’t hover. This works perfectly with their atmosphere,
because as at the end of the day Wasena is a place for friends or family to
hang out and enjoy each other’s company.
The various events as well as the space itself are conducive to groups
of people getting together for food and drinks.
The restaurant is almost always well attended, so there is often a
pleasant bustle. Despite the fact that
their service is quick, Wasena Tap Room is a place that people come to have
long meals that generally include drinks.
People will often sit around their tables and order drinks and hang out
after they have finished eating. Wasena
Tap Room is a fun bar and grill that is offers a pleasant atmosphere and a
great place to meet up with friends or family.
